Starlight Child (The Light-Years Series, #3)

Cultural specialist Mara Hendricks and Commander Deke Sage meet on a mission that takes them across the stars and into each other's arms in this suspenseful science fiction romance.
Psychic Mara Hendricks joins the rescue team after aliens from Yanura kidnap her best friend's infant daughter. Not only will her special ability aid in tracking the baby's location, but she's also familiar with the Yanurans through her work for the government. She runs into a snag when the arrogant mission leader accuses her of being too trusting, but she believes the Yanurans might have been set up to take the blame.
Commander Deke Sage knows the aliens are hiding more than the missing child. There's something fishy regarding their claims about an age-preserving drug made from seaweed, and he's been ordered to investigate. Mara is too naïve to see the truth but too captivating for him to ignore. As their mission progresses, they realize there's a bigger conspiracy than either of them suspected. They'll both have to open their hearts and their minds to save the missing child.
